The waste to energy initiative paves way for safe disposal of food waste and also provides clean energy.

The solid waste management practice in our Cantonment Board Primary and High school, It is a zero waste management initiative that helps Schools to identify and reduce the amount of waste they generate. As a measure of zero waste management, the trash that is actually sent to the land fills and rubbish are segregated into as follows:

1. Recycle Waste.

2. Compost Waste.

Each classroom is provided with dustbin bags for collecting the wastes.

Children are practiced to collect wastes in a segregated manner where the recycleable wastes and degradeable wastes are put in separate bags.

The wastes that is collected in recycle waste bags are sent for recycling process and the other bag with compost is fed to the Bio compost shed inside the school campus where the compost along with leaf and yard wastes is dumped together to prepare organic manure.

This is being followed in both the Cantonment Board Primary School and Cantonment Board High School at Pallavaram.
